Work includes more than 35 projects throughout Macomb County
MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. – The Macomb County Department of Roads (MCDR) announced plans for preventative maintenance and repair work as part of the agency’s annual asphalt and concrete pavement preservation program (PPP), which includes work on 36 primary and local roadways throughout the county.
“The Department of Roads uses a full mix of comprehensive maintenance strategies and makes data-driven investments to enhance the quality and longevity of our roadways,” said Macomb County Executive Mark A. Hackel. “The pavement preservation program reflects our commitment to delivering cost-effective and sustainable solutions for the motoring public."
The PPP uses a mix of preventative maintenance and rehabilitation solutions best suited for each situation including asphalt and concrete repairs, crack sealing, chip sealing, and resurfacing measures. The program is 100% county funded and projects are selected based on data, conditions, and community needs.
“Performing preventative maintenance work on roads that are in good to fair condition is a strategic and cost-effective way to improve and extend the service life of our roadways,” said MCDR Director Bryan Santo. “Identifying and addressing minor issues before they turn into significant concerns reduces the need for reconstruction work and the high costs associated with major projects.”
The schedules for individual PPP projects will vary based on location. Projects are typically completed within three weeks of starting and work is weather dependent. During PPP work, roads will remain open to through traffic with intermittent lane closures during construction and flagging operations to stop traffic when necessary. Motorists should expect delays and are encouraged to seek alternate routes when possible. All PPP projects are expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Below is a list of PPP projects that are planned for 2024.
